Pins on a plastic Marbo brand BS1363 3 pin plugBlack plastic Marbo brand BS1363 mains plug This MARBO branded plug has been subjected to heat at some point, and has partially melted at the top edge. It is likely that the heat was created due to a loose connection on the line terminal, as most of the melting is in that area.

A single screw holds the lid on. The two smaller screws are for the flex grip.

Pins are unsleeved.
